The Commissioner Of immigration is
about to publish twenty-five or fifty
thousand copies of pamphlet descrip-
tive of the territory, in which it is his
avowed purpose to treat the Hills with
the consideration and detail the section
deserves. In a letter recently written
by him to Prof. Carpenter, dean of the
territorial school of mines, he says:
1t would please me beyond measure
could you find time to write for this
official publication an article on the ge-
ology, topography, mineral deposits, the
present wealth and future possibilities
| of the Black Hills, to be published un-
der your name.

do this, and il certainly would rebound
Ito the interests of the territory, especi-
| ally the Black Hills districts, for shall
distribute vast number of the books
directly into the hands Of inquiring par

Should you be unable to comply with
my request, then would be pleased if
you will refer me to such works pub
lished as will give me all the informa-
ton al present to be had.
Any local pamphlets or descriptive
articles, covering the ground and meet
ing with your approval would be crate
fully received.

industries Of the Hills.

There is a prospect that from the
present time forward there will be
greater competition for Black Hills tin
property than heretofore. If letters
received here from rcputed capitalists
in the east mean anything, they GER
tainly indicate that there is money to
be invested in locations giving promise
Of developing into sources Of tin sup

John Flaherty, a mining operator.

John Flaherty, mining operator.
formerly of Deadwood, and well known
throughout the Hills, is reported as
having suddenly developed crazy
freak at Spokane Falls. The Review of
that place bearing date the 2lst ult.
says:
LAST night considerable excitement
was occasioned in the Arlington hotel
by a guest who is demented, suddenly
taking on violent crazy freak. The
man is John Flaherty Of Wardner, who
was brought to this city by friends for
medical examination He ran through
the halls on the third floor Of the build
ing yelling at the top of his voice.
Officer Fisher happened to be on the
street and he ran up stairs and secured
the maniac. His friends promised to
take care of him and so the officer turn
ed him over to them. Flaherty has had
considerable trouble oflate and recently
suffered some kind of injury at the base
Of the brain. He has acted queerly, yet
his friends hoped that he would soon
regain his former health. He will prob
ably have to go to the asylum"

Chadron's railroad expectations were
evidently in full bloom in the mind Of
the Journal man when he wrote the
following: "Chadron will be something
of railroad center as division head
quarters, and with large machine and
repair shops of both the F., 4. & M. V
and B. & M. railways. 1t seems as
though the long expected boom of over
whelming proportions was about to
break and be poured all over our de-
voted heads. Let 'er break"

The Spokane Falls Review put i!
about right when it said: 'It is best to
run a town with vim or sell out and
leave it. Men who are all the time
trying to run down business ofa town,
or forever trying to get out Of it will
never try to build it up. One Of the
two things must be done, run the town
for all it is worth, get up steam and
keep it up, or quit and let nature have
its course. IF You want business patron
ize home industry. If you want busi-
ness TO come to your town patronize
those who do come. If you want q
prosperous town, where people can
come who are disposed to make homes,
do away with jealousies, all spite work,
and all work together for common good
and mutual benefit. Talk for your town
and community and all work for the
same and success is assured"

Messrs. Bullock and Carpenter were
at the Iron Hill mine yesterday. The
new smelter is finished and fires in the
furnace, but the smelter will not be
blown in for number Of days, or until
a supply of coke is on hand sufficient to
assure continuous work. The new
works are pronounced the finest plant
in the country; complete in every par
ticular and put up in the most sub.
stantial manner. Reports from the
mine are equally encouraging; or, in
effect that the property never looked
better. Bins at smelter and hoist are
full of ore, and the dump seems as
large as ever, notwithstanding the fact
that teams are hauling therefrom to the
smelter continuously. w. +. Terhune,
Mr.. Weinberg's successor is expected
from Salt Lake this evening.-Times, 7.

The late legislature of Connecticut
would probably never have been referred
to outside of the little commonwealth but
for the passage of one law among a mum
Der of singular enactments. This was an
act of the blue laws variety forbidding
the running of railway trains within the
borders Of the state at certain hours on
Sunday, except to carry the mails and for
the uses of mercy or necessity. The re
suit is that the New York Sunday papers
are shut of from all parts of Connecticut
east Of New Haven, and also from Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. This curtail
ment of the territory tributary to the New
York Sunday newspapers is troubling in
about equal degree the publishers and the
excluded readers, and the question has
been raised as to how far a state can 90 in
thus interfering with the affairs of another
state. There is an earnest appeal made
to the people OF Connecticut to elect an
other Legislature composed less extensively
of cranks and noodles than the last legis
lature was, but what is to be done in the
meanwhile is the perplexing question.

RUssIA's military railway east Of the
Caspian sea is carrying considerable guam
titles of freight, especially cotton, to Euro
pean markets from Central Asia. Ulti
mately it will certainly be connected with
the British railway system OF India, and
then the dreaded means of invasion, as it
has been regarded in that country. will be
the quickest, safest and most convenient
route for passenger travel between Europe
and India, and it may prove a formidable
competitor Of the steamship lines for
freight traffic between Great Britain aud
the greatest of British foreign possessions.
So, in a thousand instances, the machin
cry of war and of conquest has been
turned to the advantage OF the arts and
interests of peace.
